Why bet on the LA Galaxy?
Historically, LA Galaxy is one of the most prestigious teams in MLS, carrying the pressure to win another title—a feat they haven’t achieved since 2014. In fact, they haven’t reached a final since that championship year.
The California-based team secured a dominant qualification for the Western Conference semifinals by thrashing the Colorado Rapids with 5-0 and 4-1 victories. Spanish midfielder Riqui Puig was the star of the series, scoring four of LA Galaxy’s nine goals.
Puig has proven to be one of the most impactful players in MLS, boasting 17 goals and 10 assists this season. His contributions go beyond the stats, providing leadership and quality rooted in his experience playing in Europe with Barcelona, all at just 25 years old.
Alongside Puig, Serbian forward Dejan Joveljic has also been crucial, adding 17 goals and six assists to the team’s tally.
Another advantage for LA Galaxy is their formidable home record, where they are the strongest team in MLS this season, winning 14 games, drawing three, and losing only once.
Overall, the Galaxy have won seven of their last ten matches, with their only losses coming against Houston Dynamo, Portland Timbers, and Los Angeles FC.
Currently, Uruguayan defender MartÃn Cáceres is the only player on the injury list.

Their key player in scoring is Bongokuhle Hlongwane, with 11 goals and four assists, while Finnish midfielder Robin Lod has been instrumental with 16 assists this season.
As a road team, Minnesota has been solid, collecting 17 points in 17 matches. They are currently on a six-game unbeaten streak away from home.
